## Summary

The City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council has completed the procurement process for the installation of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems at Sedbergh Pool/Leisure Centre, Bowling Pool, and Ilkley Lido, funded by the West Yorkshire Mayoral Fund. The procurement method utilised was open competition below the threshold, and the tender was awarded on 6 March 2026. The planned contract period is from 20 March 2026 to 20 March 2027. These works, falling under the industry category of solar panel roof-covering, aim to maximise on-site electricity generation and must be substantially completed by 31 March 2026. Each location has an indicative capacity ranging from 80 kW to 200 kW, with a collective budget not exceeding £528,000.

This tender presents meaningful opportunities for businesses specialising in solar energy solutions and installations. With both awarded contracts granted to SMEs like Howpow and Go Low Carbon Limited, it highlights the council’s preference for supporting small enterprises. Companies proficient in designing and installing solar PV systems, especially those offering innovative solutions such as battery storage proposals, are well-suited to compete in similar tenders. The focus on local energy generation and sustainability reflects a growing need for expertise in renewable energy technologies, opening avenues for business growth in the expanding green energy market.
